  • System and method for statistically monitoring and analyzing sensed conditions
    Patent number: 7877234
    Abstract: A system and method of monitoring and analyzing a plurality of attributes for an alarm condition is disclosed. The attributes are processed and/or unprocessed values of sensed conditions of a collection of a statistically significant number of statistically similar components subjected to varying environmental conditions. The attribute values are used to compute the normal behaviors of some of the attributes and also used to infer parameters of a set of models. Relative probabilities of some attribute values are then computed and used along with the set of models to determine whether an alarm condition is met. The alarm conditions are used to prevent or reduce the impact of impending failure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2011
    Assignee: Sandia Corporation
    Inventors: Philippe P. Pebay, James M. Brandt, Ann C. Gentile, Youssef M. Marzouk, Darrian J. Hale, David C. Thompson
